How To Clean & Rebuild A Motorcycle Carburetor THE RIGHT WAY

[@1FastKawboy]

The Dream is on my bucket list. Very cool looking bikes.

Tackling this next week on a vtwin with 2 carbs. Thanks for the informative video!

[@lindsayspates8907]

Thank you for this video. Getting into bikes, and this is a skill I can't skip out on. 🥰

[@GoldGuyRides]

Thanks for watching! I hope it helped you.

Highly informative video, I learnt alot, feeling much more confident now to attack my new project bike.

[@larryfox4915]

Good stuff. Nicely done, informative video. I have to agree with the use of compressed air. Nothing succeeds like 90 psi.

[@GoldGuyRides]

Nothing beats 90psi!

[@roderickmoyer9851]

Can’t wait to see how nice you will do with this bike…

[@rockrnick27]

Great video man. Very informative

Great video thank you good refresher….

Thanks for always commenting!

Awesome! I have a 1966 CA95 ....do you have an idea on how get the petcock off? I've attempted to turn the bottom bolt to get at the screw...stuck!

[@toycollector10]

There's a hex nut cast onto the bottom of the bowl. Remember it's upside down so remember lefty-loosey righty-tighty, have you been turning it the wrong way to unscrew it? There are three 5 mm pan head bolts that hold the main body onto the tank. Warning, the thread pitch could well be .9 instead of the usual .8 (the ones on my CB92 were .9) Rust from the water in the tank could have worked into the threads so they will be loose once you get them out. Big job if they're rusted in place. Good luck.

[@marcokurek2654]

The float height is usually measured without the gasket and only on the bare bowl mating surface because the gasket material thickness could vary giving you an inaccurate reading.

[@GoldGuyRides]

Good point!

Nice vid, pretty much covered it.

[@GoldGuyRides]

Thanks!

[@toycollector10]

Always submerge your floats in water and watch for bubbles. Bubbles obviously mean there's a hole.

[@rozerdozer718]

Gonna be sick man!

[@HomeALot-w1x]

hey man great video- I have a similar looking carb with that one straw like needle in the float bowl- mine always leaks. What is the point of that needle? Will a rebuild solve this?

[@GoldGuyRides]

Thanks! That is the overflow tube and it is there in case your float valve isn't sealing, the extra gas goes through that and out the drain on the bottom of the carburetor instead of leaking into your engine. If you pull out the drain bolt, clean it all up and tighten it back in it shouldn't leak unless your float valve isn't sealing up.

@@GoldGuyRides thanks a ton! I appreciate the information

Algorithm, please be nice to gold guy.

[@GoldGuyRides]

Thank you Dan! Algorithm is mean to me 😂

[@rozerdozer718]

Quick question gg! I have a small hole in the float bowl area in my carb, it's a tiny hole connected to the plunger thing. Is that normal? I'm not getting any gas spitting now... idk if it's clogged or that hole is normal..

[@GoldGuyRides]

As long as there is no gas in the float and the carburetor doesn't leak gas out of the overflows when it is filled up with gas then it is fine. Sounds normal to me.

[@ensporium8857]

For the algorithm 🇺🇲

[@GoldGuyRides]

Thank you dude 🙏

[@rickywhite9403]

I just did my first carb but a spring came out of the carb and where does it go

[@GoldGuyRides]

Look up the parts diagram of your bikes carburetor online and it will show you where the spring goes.

OMG the audio

[@GoldGuyRides]

What's wrong with the audio? Sounds good on my end.

[@whywouldigivemyrealname5162]

I don't want to pull my wife's carb off. It's been sitting with 10% ethanol gas...

[@davebarrowcliffe1289]

Algorithm! Do another restoration/repair. Not interested in e-bikes. 😃

[@GoldGuyRides]

I am doing another restoration! Stay tuned ;)
